OKC man ordered to face trial in hit-and-run

— OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An unlicensed driver accused of killing a pedestrian in a hit-and-run has been ordered to face trial after a witness said the driver got out of his car, checked on the victim and then drove off.

The Oklahoman reported that a judge found sufficient evidence Friday to order Leonard Lee Bailey, 62, of Oklahoma City to face trial.

Bailey is charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident and causing an accident without a driver's license.

Authorities say Lee Michael Day, 38, was killed after a vehicle struck him in March.

Bailey was being held on $40,000 bond at the Oklahoma County Jail. Jail records didn't list an attorney for him.
